AHRQ’s Health Care Innovations Exchange Focuses on Improving Medication Adherence and Safety through Electronic Monitoring



This week’s issue from AHRQ’s Health Care Innovations Exchange features three innovations that show how electronic systems improved medication safety, reduced costs, and increased medication adherence. For example, an electronic medication monitoring system designed by the Center for Connected Health in Boston (a subsidiary of Partners Healthcare, a nonprofit integrated delivery system) increased medication adherence in patients with uncomplicated hypertension through visual and auditory reminders, phone calls for missed doses or refills, and weekly and monthly progress reports on adherence for patients to share with providers. The innovations are complemented by QualityTools on telepharmacy, medication reconciliation, and safe, appropriate medication use among older adults.
